Talk:Yale College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have re-routed 'Yale College' to Yale College Wrexham, on the grounds that Yale College Wrexham really is a college. Yale University uses the collegiate system, but does not have a college called 'Yale College' so i feel this move is valid.
The disclaimer on the Yale College Wrexham page will re-direct people to the university, or to the yale disambiguation page.
Yale University is based around a residential college system, which is not the federation system found at Oxbridge that I assume you suggest. All undergrads are members of Yale College, the undergraduate division of the unviersity. lots of issues | leave me a message 09:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Needs more explanation?
Yale University was founded in 1701 as the Collegiate School. Its name was changed to Yale College in 1718 in gratitude to a benefactor, Elihu Yale.
If it was called Yale X in 1701 and then changed to Yale Y in 1718, how is that renaming it for some guy called Yale at that point? If it had been a guy called Elihu College then that would make sense I guess... -- 81.150.229.68 13:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
